Seven SWAC players, one coach named to BOXTOROW All-American Team

With Final Four Week as the backdrop, BOXTOROW released its annual men’s Division I All-America teams.

Texas Southern coach Mike Davis and North Carolina Central coach LeVelle Moton were named BOXTOROW Co-Coaches of the Year. Davis led the Tigers to the SWAC regular season and conference tournament championships. The Tigers finished the season 23-12 and their NCAA Tournament appearance marked the Tigers’ third appearance, as well as their fourth SWAC regular season title in Davis’ five seasons as coach at TSU.

In eight seasons at the helm of his alma mater, Moton led the Eagles to their second MEAC Tournament championship. In six seasons of MEAC play, the Eagles have won the MEAC regular season three times. The Eagles finished the season 25-9.

Davis and Moton have now won the BOXTOROW Coach of the Year honors twice apiece.
